6 / 1 Ardoch Avenue
St Kilda East

A leafy urban sanctuary like nothing you’ve ever experienced, this tastefully renovated three bedroom residence manifests all the heritage and esteem of its circa-1890s period grandeur while basking in the glory of the exquisitely sculpted 2.8 hectares of botanic gardens that encase the tightly-held Ardoch Residential Estate. Set under soaring ceilings and rich in Art Deco character, this is a unique first-floor / top-floor apartment surrounded by leafy outlooks and with access to the health-related nourishment of a communal Village Green where a heated swimming pool, sauna and gymnasium add remarkable lifestyle appeal.

Introduced via a vast, undercover and north-facing entertainers’ terrace the home opens to a huge entrance hall where honey coloured Baltic Pine flooring, leadlight windows and towering ceilings are almost overwhelmed by the sheer scale and light of the home. A modern subway-tiled kitchen extends to a huge lounge / dining that is warmed by a traditional fireplace, whilst each of the bedrooms – two with robes and a third with another fireplace – are all proportioned to emphasise the home’s origins as mansion of historical significance. Securely gated with carport parking and visitor parking, this is an exceedingly rare offering completed by hydronic heating and a security alarm.

A stunning lifestyle offering just moments from Chapel Street, Carlisle Street, High Street Armadale and the best of both St Kilda and South Yarra with city-bound trams offering an effortless commute and Alma Park just around the corner should you ever tire of the serenity of these unique gardens.
